Micron has announced new DDR5 memory modules with capacities of 24GB and 48GB. news.mynavi.jp (via @momomo_us). The module is compatible with both AMD EXPO and Intel XMP 3.0 profiles for quick setup and is designed for desktop PCs running AMD’s Ryzen 7000 series and Intel’s 12th and 13th Generation Core processors. increase.
Micron’s new DDR5 memory module family features data transfer rates of 5200 MT/s and 5600 MT/s and CL46 latency at 1.1V. DDR5-5600 DIMMs come in traditional 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB versions, but interesting capacities are the new 24GB and 48GB models. These are likely based on 24Gb memory chips, while the former may use 16Gb DRAM ICs. DDR5-5200 modules, on the other hand, are only available in 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB sizes.
Typically, 24GB and 48GB capacities are considered optimal for the new generation of server platforms as they allow the system to precisely balance memory capacity and core count, ultimately meaning lower costs. increase. AMD EXPO and Intel XMP 3.0 profile support, on the other hand, are primarily designed for enthusiasts, indicating that these modules are really meant for desktops.
By using 24GB or two 48GB modules instead of a pair of 32GB and 64GB DIMMs, you can build a PC with 48GB or 96GB of dual-channel memory that is cheaper than a machine with 64GB or 128GB of RAM. On the other hand, capacities such as 48GB and 96GB are more suitable for modern CPUs with 16 or 24 cores. For example, if you’re running a VM, it could be 2GB or 3GB per core.
Unfortunately, Micron does not publish suggested prices for its DDR5-5200 and DDR5-5600 modules. Note that PC demand is expected to be low in Q1 and DDR5 SDRAM prices. is expected to decline 18-23% in Q1 2023new memory modules are expected to be relatively inexpensive despite their higher capacities and improved performance.
